Rain Sensor Repair in Richmond, TX

Rain Sensor Repair in Richmond, Texas

If the system in Richmond waters through a thunderstorm, the sensor is often bypassed. We test it and move it into the rain.

Pecan Grove was not a marketing name. Peheads and underground pipes are the old job. Aliana and Harvest Green are the new parkway job. Same Fort Bend day, two products.

We bring both spray and rotor on the visit.

A rain sensor that never interrupts is usually bypassed at the controller, mounted under a soffit, or swollen shut from last year’s storm. A sensor that never lets the system run is stuck wet or wired as a closed loop on an open-loop panel.

We mount sensors in the open, on a gutter edge or a dedicated stake, not behind a second-story eave. Wireless units need a battery and a clear path to the receiver.

This is often bundled with a controller tune-up. If the sensor is fine and the program still waters at noon, that is a programming visit.

Why Richmond lawns fail this way

Richmond sits on Fort Bend clay that turns slick after rain. Valve boxes fill. 1980s underground pipe in older sections snaps. Newer master-planned walks follow the same four-foot parkway pattern as Katy. HOA letters about runoff are common.

Soil. Fort Bend clay; Pecan Grove lives up to the name

Grass. St. Augustine in Pecan Grove and Aliana, Bermuda on some Harvest Green pads

Houses. Pecan Grove 80s–90s, Aliana and Harvest Green 2010s Typical failures: Pecan Grove underground pipes vs Aliana parkway sprays, HOA run times, peheads shading zones

Richmond HOAs photograph grass and runoff. We match sod, keep water off the street, and write the quote so the committee sees a finished parkway.

How a visit works

1. Test interrupt Wet the disks or press the test. Stations should skip.
2. Check the bypass Many Houston installs never pulled it.
3. Replace and relocate Where rain hits, not where the ladder was convenient.
4. Confirm a storm skip We simulate, then you watch the next Gulf cell.
